Hello Dragan Here is my Energy 5 (before I refinished the satin coating, must update the pic) http://www.statii.com/status_db/Simple_List_view.php?editid=222 Very similar to your but with the Utile body Serial number 0582079, which translates as May 1998 The pickups on mine are labelled 'Hyperactive' but are passive Each one has a single coil in the neck half of the pickup with a dummy coil in the bridge half. So hum cancelling single coil. Check out: http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html You can use a paperclip or something light and magnetic to feel where the magnet(s) are Controls are Blend/Volume/Treble boost or cut The treble tone control is flat at the centre detent My current favourite strings are bridge pu with the treble all the way off or neck pu with the treble flat Seems to depend on the room Working through the Catalogues and More section gave me hours of fun tracking down exactly which bass I had and getting it back to original spec Definitely my favourite ever bass and the one I always pick up first Welcome to statii.com
